What's New in Python 2.1 alpha 2?
=================================
Core language, builtins, and interpreter
- repr(string) is easier to read, now using hex escapes instead of octal,
and using \t, \n and \r instead of \011, \012 and \015 (respectively):
>>> "\texample \r\n" + chr(0) + chr(255)
'\texample \r\n\x00\xff' # in 2.1
'\011example \015\012\000\377' # in 2.0
Standard library
